New Electron/Chromium on Windows 7

[iamchloya]

Thorium is chromium-based browser that supports Windows 7 (based on new chromium versions)

If i find a way to replace chromium in electron-engine, then i will definitely inform you and I will provide the sources and binaries

This is also something I wanted to look into, to get window XP support - https://github.com/win32ss/supermium

I would like to move away from electron, but the filesystem access part is a bit annoying. it could be a local node app instead where you just load a webpage, though - then you could use any browser

I wonder if people would like that

then you could use any browser

I want this so that I don't have to run "two browsers" on my computer.

but the filesystem access part is a bit annoying

how about calling the file picker window by server/nodejs-side?
(push button in browser and nodejs (not chromium/firefox) will spawn file picker window)

you'd have to run a nodejs program which you'd then visit the URL of on the computer, the filepicker could be serversize, yeah

I'm not sure what people's workflows will break due to this though
